Gotta go Faster
That's street car thinking. If your racing from 4500 to 7500 rpm, its irrelevant how much torque you make a 3000 rpm. Phasers are for extending the rpm range. If the cam doesn't need springs and doesn't need to reduce phaser movement, its not a race cam and you are giving up high rpm power to keep unneeded low rpm power.

Drop in, no springs required, “intake only” camshaft set for 11-14 Ford 5.0L Coyote engines. Developed at the request and feedback of a top modular tuner, we have designed a camshaft profile that gains power across the entire RPM range without sacrificing low and mid-range power. Easy to tune, maintains drivability, and maintains full VCT movement and functionality.
With full TiVCT and NO limiters, full torque is obtained thru mid-range and low RPM
Yes its a dog ring style trans. Much faster upshifts and much easier to heel toe downshift. Plus this particular 5 speed is a close ratio box. You would never be caught between gears, ie wanting something like a 3.5 gear for a given corner.
Lastly, are you spending this kind of money because you want a fast street car? Or do you want to win races? If its the latter, stop thinking about the best available street car parts and start thinking about which race car parts you need.
Yes, I like to have my cake and eat it as well... But little buy little its getting faster and faster...
